   • Join us as we “kick-off” our adult Summer Reading Program with an evening event featuring Debra Spark, author of Unknown Caller. We’ve partnered with the Maine Humanities Council and Maine State Library to bring the state-wide adult summer reading program Read ME to our community! Read ME invites Maine’s adults to join together in reading the same books - written by Maine authors and recommended by another acclaimed Maine author, Monica Wood! Selected books are: Unknown Caller by Debra Spark (Fiction) - a gorgeously written novel about a married couple, an unpredictable ex-wife, and a recently discovered daughter, and The Moth: 50 True Stories (Nonfiction) - a series of stories that span the breadth of human experience, originally presented live without notes. (Many of you may be fans of The Moth Radio Hour on NPR.) Visit our Read ME display in the Library...and start reading!
